Time will tell whether they will reward the Packers for using a second-round pick in 2001 on Ferguson and a first-round pick in 2002 on Walker. But if the recent stretch of games -- albeit against three losing teams -- is any indication of what is in store in the future, the Packers will be in good hands.

Walker hasnt always been a factor this season and has four games with just one catch. But he has made the most of his opportunities, averaging an impressive 17.8 yards per catch and scoring nine touchdowns. He only has one drop.
